Insurance company gets top recognition as an employer

Capri Insurance, which has been in operation for more than 40 years, has 300 employees

Capri Insurance is being recognized as one of this year’s Best Workplaces in Canada.

Capri Insurance, which has been in operation for more than 40 years,  has 300 employees, including in the North Okanagan.

“Our people are what make this a great place to work,” said Tim Miller, president.

“Team members genuinely care about the well being of our clients and they’re empowered to make decisions and do what’s right. Being recognized as a best workplace in Canada only confirms what we’ve always known, that we have a fantastic team here at Capri.”

Capri Insurance’s commitment to employee engagement includes program’s like employee ownership, wellness and community involvement.

This list of Best Workplaces in Canada is compiled by Great Place to Work Institute Canada.

The competition process is based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from a 58-statement survey completed by a random selection of employees, along with their open-ended comments about their organization; the remaining one-third of the score comes from an in-depth review of the organization’s culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. This offers representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture.

Together, they provide data relative to the five trust-building dimensions of a great place to work: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.

This year’s list received more than 300 nominations and more than 60,000 employees participated in the 2016 Best Workplaces in Canada survey.
